Title: Univibe
Post by: madbean on November 11, 2011, 04:52:59 PM
This is an early version of one of the two Univibe projects. This is not the exact version I am releasing, but it's pretty close.

The light plate was done by rigging up a couple of resistors and an NPN from the LFO. It does not pulse exactly in time with the LFO, but it's really for show anyway!

The power section was done with an LT1054. No regulator...it runs off about 18v. There is no noise from the charge pump or the LFO so I am quite happy about that.

How did you get that logo madbean? Is that something you found, or did you etch the 'Occupy Hendrix'? 
It looks awesome

This is a true Univibe. The Quadrovibe is vibrato/tremolo only.

It's just text etched onto some copper clad.

And they said it's impossible
For a man to live and breathe underwater
Forever was their main complaint
And they also threw this isn my face.  They said:
Anyway, you know good and well
It would be beyond the will of God
And the grace of the King
(Grace of the King)...

Me too! my vibes have always been too big to justify the real estate on my board. Although they always sound like heavenly gushing whooshing sounds.

Can't wait for this. Super Stoked!

Is that a repurposed pot condom?!  ;) Brilliant.

Post by: madbean on November 14, 2011, 10:28:31 PM
Yeah, I used a smaller bulb (the one spec'd for the Quadrovibe). The pot condom fits perfectly over it.

Looks fantastic! This will be the 3rd Univibe project and I still haven't got my warhead together..
Is the actual project your releasing going to be a true univibe clone as well?
